For lignin valorization, simultaneously achieving the efficient cleavage of ether bonds and restraining the condensation of the formed fragments represents a challenge thus far. Herein, we report a two-step oxidation-hydrogenation strategy to achieve this goal. In the oxidation step, the O2/NaNO2/DDQ/NHPI system selectively oxidizes CαH-OH to Cα=O within the β-O-4 structure. In the subsequent hydrogenation step, the α-O-4 and the preoxidized β-O-4 structures are further hydrogenated over a NiMo sulfide catalyst, leading to the cleavage of Cβ-OPh and Cα-OPh bonds. Besides the transformation of lignin model compounds, the yield of phenolic monomers from birch wood is up to 32% by using this two-step strategy. The preoxidation of CαH-OH to Cα=O not only weakens the Cβ-OPh ether bond but also avoids the condensation reactions caused by the presence of Cα+ from dehydroxylation of CαH-OH. Furthermore, the NiMo sulfide prefers to catalyze the hydrogenative cleavage of the Cβ-OPh bond connecting with a Cα=O rather than catalyze the hydrogenation of Cα=O back to the original CαH-OH, which further ensures and utilizes the advantages of preoxidation
